stay the night

stay the night.
no need to leave,
no need to run off
into the cold.
it's late, so late.
plus you've had
too much to drink.
it's very dark
out and the roads
are wet with ice,
with sleet. stay
the night. i'll
keep you warm, i'll
tell you what you
need to hear. i'll
tuck you in, i'll
even say your prayers.
stay the night.
just one more night.
it's late, it's
cold, no need to
to go back home, to
get on the road,
to leave me here
alone.

beautiful
touching or
the truth
